    Rosa's!!!!! It's a West Texas thing. Best fast food fajitas you can find. Actually, they would be good even if they weren't fast food.

    Why is it that everytime people talk about McDonald's they say it sucks and nobody ever says its their favorite, yet its the most successful fast food place in the world.

    Nobody I know says they like McDonald's yet there is one on every corner.

    I think everybody secretly likes those tiny hamburger patties and just doesn't want to admit it.

    I think the success of McDonalds has a lot to do with it being probably the most kid friendly fast food chain in the country.

    I kindof like some of McDonald's stuff. It' a safe bet in the sense that you know EXACTLY what it will taste like. Big Macs are good. And the "Spanish Omlet Bagel" kicks ass.

    Personally, I love Wendy's fries the best, and Sonic's hamburgers the best. Jack's cheap food is awesome, and Taco Bell has great stuff. Ditto for TC, but TC is usually more expensive.

    I can't stand Jack fries, Burger King Fries, and I don't much like Sonic's (although they aren't too bad).

    I really enjoy Jack in the Box's burgers they are pretty good, but there tacos and shakes make me sick.

    Wendys is safe and pretty good

    McD's I wont eat there, and I really dont:D no seriously I dont:)

    I really like Checkers, drool, that place is the best, there burgers are good, fries are from IDAHO potatoes, and there shakes are huge. plus its a great value. unfortunatly there is not one in Idaho or within 1000 miles of where i live:(

    I also like burger king. but Checkers is the place for me

    Chik-File (or however you spell that thing).

    I cant believe their chicken sandwich has only 9 grams of fat. Its too good to be healthy. I stop eating BK, TB, JIB, etc., a long time ago.

    Subway and Chik File for me.

    I see some of you say you want to be health conscious but don't have time...

    People tell me I am the most health conscious person they know...

    You can eat the 7 under 7 at Subway... I love their 6" Veggie Delight. Since I'm a vegetarian, I buy Morningstar Garden burger patties, slice half of one up, and stuff the veggie subway with it. Total = 250 calories. (200 for the sandwich and 50 for half the veggie patty) Add a bag of baked lays potato chips, a piece of fruit (granny smith apples for me), and a diet soda, and you get about 460 calories for one meal! Outstanding for a meal on the go and very filling!

    Has anyone tried the Nada Chicken sub at Thundercloud? Fantastic!

    Also, it seems that Burger King has started selling an actual veggie burger with a veggie patty, with lo fat mayo and everything!

    as you can see, there are healthy fast food alternatives, you just have to hunt around :D

    Whataburger....by a wide margin. You gotta love that 'fancy ketchup'! Their bacon cheeseburger.....ummmmmm.....the bacon is always so crispy!

    Besides that, I can't believe Short Stop hasn't been mentioned! Come on!

    I like Mc D's but it is not my favorite, unless I'm craving the nuggets. McD's is the most convenient as they are everywhere.

    Popeye's has the best taste among fast foods, but it is too fattening to be my usual.

    Subway is pretty cool. I get the Italian and have them add some of the meatball sauce. Not the best thing health wise at subway....but it beats the competition here.

    I don't consider Whataburger fast food. I like the food, but if I'm in a hurry they won't do. 6 -7 minutes minimum is too long. If I want good food, I usual go to somewhere else.

    It might just be that they aren't convenient to me.

    White Castle, anyone?

    I love BK's chicken sandwiches, too. Their fries are better than McD's now, too.

    If I lived in the Midwest, definitely. When I went up to Chicago over Christmas, we had to make a special trip to Gurnee so I could get my six pack.

    Best chicken sandwich - Chick-Fil-A
    Best desserts - Sonic
    Best fried chicken place - Popeyes/Church's (each has its strong points)
    Best (greasy) fish - Long John Silver's
    Best burritos - Chipotle
    Best breakfast - Hardee's
    Best variety - used to be Wendy's; now, don't know
    Best value - Taco Bell

    Worst overall - McDonald's
    Second worst - Burger King
    Worst fries - Chick-Fil-A
    Nothing healthy at all - Burger King, Sonic, Popeye's, Church's, Dairy Queen, Hardee's
    Worst subs - Blimpie's (Subway a close second)
    Worst Mexican - Taco Bell
    Worst chicken - Burger King, Sonic, Dairy Queen, Whataburger, anywhere else that serves compressed chicken parts sandwiches
